The following table describes the connection definition parameters common to all FireDAC drivers.
Parameter | Description | Example value |
---|---|---|
DriverID | The FireDAC base or virtual driver ID. | MySQL |
MetaDefCatalog | Specifies the default catalog for the application. The design time code omits the catalog name in the object name if it is equal to MetaDefCatalog. If MetaDefCatalog is '*', then the catalog name is omitted unconditionally. | Northwind |
MetaDefSchema | Specifies the default schema for the application. The design time code omits the schema name in the object name if it is equal to MetaDefSchema. If MetaDefSchema is '*', then the schema name is omitted unconditionally. | dbo |
MetaCurCatalog | Specifies the current catalog for the application. If it is not specified, then its value is received from the DBMS. If an application asks for metadata and you do not specify a catalog name, then FireDAC implicitly uses the current catalog. If MetaCurCatalog is '*', then the catalog name is omitted from the metadata parameters. | * |
MetaCurSchema | Specifies the current schema for the application. If it is not specified, then its value is received from the DBMS. If an application asks for metadata and you do not specify a schema name, then FireDAC implicitly uses the current schema. If MetaCurSchema is '*', then the schema name is omitted from the metadata parameters. | * |
MonitorBy | Specifies the trace / monitor output for this connection definition. One of the following values can be specified:
